Sami had no time to move. Ali sword pierced her ribcage before she had time to realise what had happened. She crumpled into a lifeless heap, redness staining her shirt. I screamed from where I was in the tree, unable to believe it. Ali has just- just – murdered Sami! Killed her as though she were a pig – one that would soon meet vegetables and a plate. The blue-haired archer’s head whipped around, staring into the trees for the source of my scream. Luckily, she was distracted by a furious Cass pouncing on her from behind, wrestling her to the floor. But not for long. Ali twisted, and I saw the sword point emerge through Cass’s back. The Kameleonne gasped in pain and Ali shoved her away, leaving her writhing in pain, until she went limp, sprawled out beside Sami. Ali paced in a circle, her sword dripping red, eyes scanning for a new target. Natalie made a dash for a first-aid kit, and Ali saw her. I closed my eyes, but couldn’t block Natalie’s piercing shriek of agony ripping into my ears. A tiny whimper, and I opened my eyes to see Natalie pinned to the ground, Ali’s sword stuck through her body. Her eyes were open, but glassy. I felt it. My eyes prickled. After so many years… after we survived a plane crash… the girl I had loved like and older sister was dead. I sobbed into my palms as Ali walked triumphantly away from Nat’s limp form. Trying to be silent, I crawled through the bushes to Natalie’s side, and gently slid her blue eyes closed. Ali’s head turned, and I ran without thinking twice. I knew I was a faster runner than Ali. She wouldn’t catch me, particularly as she was carrying a heavy sword. But then I heard the squeal. Prim’s squeal. I raced towards it to see Ali stalking a terrified Prim.
“Ali! Ali, it’s me! Ali! Please, don’t do this! Ali!” begged Prim, tears flowing down her cheeks. Ali raised her sword. I looked away. I didn’t want to see Prim die. Her final scream rang around the arena, and, too late, I realised that I had no cover. For a second I stared into Ali’s eyes. Then, she started to stalk me.
